Gordon setters are alert and lively, pleasant and loyal. They tend to be devoted to members of their
household, but are not overly friendly to strangers. Gordons tend to tolerate attention from people they do not know rather
than seeking such attention. There is no denying a Gordon would just as soon stay a puppy forever, but with proper techniques
young Gordons can be trained without breaking their spirit. Gordons are highly intelligent dogs, as quick to spot an advantage
as to spot game, and basic obedience training will make your Gordon a better companion and a better canine citizen. Although
Gordons are bright, they are not blindly obedient, and may seem stubborn. Firmness and consistency are the keys to handling
Gordons; harsh treatment is almost never necessary.
Gordons are capable of adapting to a variety of living situations, as long as they are assured of
the love of their masters. They do, however, need plenty of daily exercise to maintain peak physical and mental condition.
Gordons need a safe, fenced area in which to run and play, and/or to be taken for frequent on-leash walks. This breed should
never be allowed to roam freely because Gordons have tendency to put their noses to the ground where the hunting instinct
might lead them to follow a bird or squirrel across a busy highway.
Children and Gordon setters are a good combination, espacially when the dog is introduced to children
at a young age. Gordons tend to show strong protective instincts to their young charges.
Many Gordons are great talkers. They can develop quite a vocabulary with various tones to express
themselves. Constant wagging of the tail seems to be part of their style as well.
Originaire d'Ecosse, le setter Gordon est un chasseur passionné qui a besoin de se dépenser.
Il est sociable et bien dans sa peau. A l'aise dans un groupe de personnes, il ne montre ni agressivité, ni timidité.
Le setter Gordon se révèle donc un chien tres attachant, doué dans son métier, adorable en
famille et gagnant à être connu !

The Gordon Setter is the only sporting dog developed in Scotland. It was stabilized by Alexander,
the fourth Duke of Gordon, between the years 1770-1820. Originally called the Gordon Castle Setter, the Duke's purpose was
to create a larger, heavier type of setter of pleasing conformation, with keen scenting power well adapted to his rugged Scottish
environment. It was been strongly suggested that there is some "colley" and possibly some "bloodhound" breeding in the Gordon's
background. This would account for the breed's colour, black with mahogany markings, as well as its habit of hunting with
nose to groung. Also the former tendency to circle rather than point the game-a dangerous practice which could put the dog
within firing range.
